Tuition to Increase
By Jill Wright
The Bethel Board of Regents approved
higher tuition costs as part of the 1990-91
Bethel budget at their meeting in January.
Tuition costs for the 1990-91 school year
will be $9,250 compared to $8,500 this
year, representing an 8.8% increase.
Room and board fees will go up 6.3%
from $3,180 thisyear to $3,380 next year.
According to John Bergson, Chief Financial Officer/Controller, "The student tuitions only pays about 80 to 90 percent of
the total cost of running the school."
The remaining ten percent comes primarily from contributions to Bethel "...which
are not going up as fast as the cost of
operating the school," says Bergson.
Bethel has no control over rising fees of
services such as health insurance for
Bethel employees, which Bethel helps
pay for, utilities, science equipment, and
library materials, says Bergson.
According to Bergson, "There are some
other costs that have gone up significantly that we do have control over,
expenditures that the institution has
chosen to make."
One voluntary expense is a faculty salary
system that was approved by the Board
of Regents two years ago. In this system,
recognition is accompanied by money for
faculty members' length of stay and promotions, according to Bergson.
Bergson states, "The reasons for improvement in faculty salaries and improvement in pension plans are to attract
and to keep high-quality faculty members."

TONIJOHNSON: PASSIONATE ACTIVIST
By Kim Perry
As the police cars approach, your heart
begins to race. Are you really doing this?
What is going to happen?
As the officers approach to drag you away
your mind continues to fill with questions
of uncertainty. Will you be hurt? Are you
really being arrested?
Your body goes limp as the police officers
firmly grasp you, carry you away and
throwyou into the back of the van. Somehow through the pain, the discomfort,
and the bruises, the whole ordeal has
been worthwhile.
For Toni Johnson this is not an imaginary
tale. Several times she has found herself in
this situation because of her involvement
in Pro-life Action Ministries, a group that
not only feels that abortion is wrong, but is
also willing to take action against it.
Johnson became a part of this group
almost two years ago. "I felt God had
placed a burden on my heart to help stop
the needless killing of innocent children."
Johnson began as a sidewalk counselor,
informing women who were planning to
have and abortion of their other options.
"Many women don't even realize that
abortion is not the only alternative."
Her involvement also includes rescue
operations. During the rescues, group
members lock arms to block the entrance
of the abortion clinics while they pray and
sing praise songs. Other group members
counsel the women who are attempting
to get in.
Johnson says that an attitude of love and
humility is essential. Her passion to do
away with abortion is evident, yet she turns
to God to help her enter these rescue
situations with care and compassion for
the women and children. "If we get angry
and try to fight, evil overcomes. But an
attitude of humility allows God to work."
Johnson did not begin as the charismatic
protester that she is today. She disagreed
with abortion, but she didn't really know
what to do about it. The more she read
and learned the stronger and deeper her
passions became. The book Operation
Rescue by Terry Randall, and the movie
Eclipse of Reason were two of the strongest influences in her decision to become
actively involved. She described how the
horrifying scenes from the movie continue to impress upon her the importance
of putting an end to the killing of innocent
children.
